A little bit about me

My name is Luisa (yes, like the one from Encanto, everyone call me Lu) I’m 25yo and I’m a live in nanny. Currently, I am taking care of 3 kids, an amazing girl who’s 6 years old and two adorable boys (a 4yo and a 2 years old). I started watching the baby since he was born on September 2021, so I gained a lot of experience with babies plus toddlers at the same time!
I’m fully vaccinated against covid (already in the 4th dosis), flu shots and TDAP.
I’m from Colombia where I worked as an English-Spanish teacher at an Elementary School (preschool-5th grade students) for my last two years in my country. My 3 kids love to learn Spanish words while we play together!

"Luisa watched our three children (current ages of 2, 4, and 6) for the past 3 years. Luisa is a very trustworthy person and a great nanny. She always has the kids safety top of mind whether she is taking the kids swimming, in the car, to the park, eating, or providing age appropriate activities. She truly cares about the kids and has a vested interest in their well being. She is always coming up either fun arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and educational tasks for the kids. I would highly recommend Luisa for a babysitting and/or nanny position."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was an English teacher in 2019 in a private Elementary School in Colombia.
On 2020, I was an English and Spanish teacher in a private school in Colombia. In this institution, I was the head teacher of second grade.
In 2019 and 2020, I worked as an English tutor for a family with a 1st grader and a 3rd grader. Also with a 8th grader from another family.
Currently, I’ve been occasionally babysitting for more than 5 families. And I have a long term babysitting job with a 1 year old every Saturday.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

INDOOR ACTIVITIES: art, crafts, fine motor skills activities (use of scissors, pencil holding), coloring books/sheets, legos, magnetic tiles, read books, puzzles, go to the library, board games, cooking, baking, picking up toys, yoga with Cosmic Kids Yoga (youtube).
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: parks, playgrounds, zoos, museums, ride bikes/scooters, sidewalk chalk, walks, swim at the pool, get toys dirty and wash them, water balloons.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is to engage with the children and create a friendly environment, where they don’t see me like “the boss” but “Lu is my friend”, while still holding boundaries.

My experience with special needs children...

I had a student with autism in Colombia (2019) but as a childcare provider in USA, I have not taken cared of any kids with special needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is when the kids hug me at the door when I’m about to leave and they don’t want to let me go, that’s my satisfying moment when I know I’m doing a great job.
